Experience a rejuvenating 4-day surf and yoga retreat at Seabreeze Hostel in Canggu, Bali. Unwind, surf, and find inner peace.

Serenity is a fantastic place to stay. It’s well located and offers incredibly healthy and delicious food. The staff are all so friendly and nice, you always feel welcomed. Even when I got sick, they took care of me and supported me in getting back well very soon. The variety of Yoga classes they offer is huge, and every one I joined was great.
Thanks for everything. I had a great time and will definitely come back. I absolutely recommend it:)

I started off in a single bedroom with just a fan, and it was way too hot. My “window” overlooked the shared indoor bathroom, so there was no way to get some fresh air.
After enduring 9 sweltering nights, a room with air conditioning became available, so I switched. There were construction works going on right behind the wall of my room all day, until the end of my stay there. I couldn’t enjoy my room (and the AC) during the day.. the noise from the machines was unbearable. I had to shower with earplugs. And the workers were constantly walking through my small terrace, one chair was even chained up to hang a sign “Thank you for understanding the inconvenience caused by the construction”. Other things bothered me like the springs in the mattress, low water pressure in the shower, hot water only lasting for 3 minutes, worn-out bath towels that didn’t smell fresh at all, the flooding in my room every morning after a night of rain… Instead of fixing the issue, I was told via email to put all my belongings higher up.. If I had to do it again, I would only take the yoga pass and stay elsewhere.
PS: I was in the Yang room. The pool is small but very peaceful and surrounded by greenery.
The yoga classes were really good. It’s great to have a pass for the month and decide day by day which classes to attend.
The staff is extremely kind and helpful. From the reception, to the restaurant, security, gardeners, housekeeping,… thank you to all of them for everything!
Very close to the beach, on a rather quiet street. Very pleasant.

I loved everything there! The yoga classes are the best in the world. My favorite was Hatha classes with teacher Qino! Qino always gave clear instructions, made adjustments, and offered options for all levels. The yoga shalas and rooms are very clean. The food in the café is tasty and fresh. Everyone who works there is friendly. There’s always a fun and friendly atmosphere, so you’ll never feel bored. I will definitely return there again! I will miss you guys!

They moved me to a room that is easier to access.

I loved everything about my experience with Serenity Eco Guesthouse. From the location to the yoga classes and the kind people who work there, everything exceeded my expectations. It really felt like a second home. Plus, the food at Alkaline restaurant on the guesthouse premises was a big bonus. The yoga classes had different instructors and styles, and all of them were experienced and tailor the classes to the participants’ needs. I will definitely be coming back again.

I stayed in a room that was basically part of the common room, with people staying up late talking on the phone every night. It felt extra hot because there were no windows in the room. The classes were so varied and the community of travelers was absolutely beautiful.

Everything has been absolutely amazing.

They were doing some construction across the road, which kind of disturbed the peaceful atmosphere, but it wasn’t enough to spoil the experience. I absolutely adore this place! It truly has such a calming energy. The food is incredibly nourishing, tasty, and reasonably priced. The yoga classes offer a wide variety and the instructors are all highly skilled and the staff is just delightful. I’m so in love with this place that I’ve already been here twice this year and can’t wait to come back again whenever I get the chance!

I wasn’t a huge fan of Canggu, but that’s not the center’s fault. If you value privacy, make sure to book a room with a private bathroom. The option of single rooms without a bathroom is cheaper, but they are so small that it made me feel claustrophobic. The whole staff is incredibly friendly and they make an impressive effort to promote sustainability, support local businesses, and offer organic food. The restaurant and yoga classes are absolutely amazing. The dorms are spacious and great if you enjoy this type of traveling. Overall, I had a really nice experience, especially if you’re into surfing because the spot is so close.

They initially didn’t receive my reservation correctly, so they put me in a different room than what I had requested. They also communicated poorly about this. The classes were excellent and the food was amazing.

The courses were a great experience even for higher levels, and my teachers were consistently competent and, in my opinion, excellently trained and nice. The courses were not overcrowded, and the accommodation was lovingly furnished.

Some places, like the bathrooms and yogi dorm, might need a thorough floor cleaning and some repairs for things like showers. At Serenity, the staff is incredible – always wearing smiles, giving warm welcomes, and being eager to assist. The yoga classes there are fantastic, with highly skilled teachers. You’ll find delicious food at Alkaline, their restaurant. Trust me, the chocolate cake there is the absolute best. The overall atmosphere is amazing, and many people who initially planned for a short stay ended up extending their time or returning again because they loved it so much. It truly feels like a home away from home.

I stayed in the second building down the street for two nights. The room didn’t have any hot water, and it had a dark and negative atmosphere. However, I quickly found another place to stay. On the bright side, the main building where the yoga classes took place was absolutely incredible! The pool and the jungle-like ambiance were truly amazing. I was impressed by the excellent yoga teachers who offered a good variety of classes for all levels. They provided all the necessary supplies, and all of them spoke English fluently.

I want there to be more advanced yoga classes with Kemie, Kadek, Citra, Elena, and Qino. It’s just not enough! The atmosphere there is so warm and inviting, and the staff is incredibly friendly and polite. They go out of their way to help you out. The yoga trainers are absolute professionals, and they offer a wide range of classes every day. Plus, they always have special events happening almost daily. And let me tell you, the location is perfect. It’s right by the sea, with a breathtaking beach nearby. And the food? Healthy and delicious! I am definitely coming back. It was such an incredible experience!

The noise around the premises is the only downside, but it’s not really their fault. However, we need to mention it. There’s a lot of construction going on, so some classes can get noisy. Also, at Seabreeze, there are roosters right outside. If you’re a light sleeper, it’s better to choose to sleep at Serenity itself. It’s a bit quieter there. But I must say, the yoga class selection was superb! All the teachers were absolutely amazing! The staff was always smiling and helpful. And let’s not forget, the breakfast was absolutely delicious!

I was really upset about the cat situation here. They abandoned a small kitten, a mom and another kitten, and then the mom died, leaving her baby all alone. Sometimes, he wouldn’t get food, so me and some other girls took care of them. But let me tell you, the yoga instructors are absolutely amazing! I adored their classes. And you know what else? The staff is outstanding! The people at the reception, the cleaning staff, and the breakfast staff are unbelievably kind and sweet. I’m gonna miss them the most.

We spent a whole month at Serenity and we really wished we could have stayed longer. We tried out nearly all of the yoga classes and we absolutely loved every single teacher and the variety of practices they offered. The pool area is perfect for chilling out and all the resort staff were incredibly nice and always attentive to our needs.

The only downside to Serenity is that some of the private rooms were not very comfortable. We tried out four different rooms and all the mattresses were uncomfortable, to the point where we would wake up in the middle of the night with back pain. Avoid the Tarzan room at all costs! It doesn’t have AC or much privacy, plus it tends to get smoky from nearby fires. Even the resort staff sometimes smoked us out in the morning while boiling water for the restaurant. We let them know and they stopped, which was really accommodating of them, but other people in the neighborhood burn garbage and rice fields, so it’s just something to be aware of and avoid.

The Alkaline restaurant at the resort is pretty good. The prices are reasonable and the food is really healthy. The breakfast buffet is decent, but if you’re willing to spend just a bit more money, you can find even better food nearby.

Overall, it was an amazing experience and we would definitely come back.

We didn’t have any eggs for breakfast. The yoga classes and breakfast were amazing though! It would be nice to have some eggs.

Other teachers are good too, but they don’t adjust students. I went to Kemi’s class to learn inversion, but she doesn’t really teach it step by step. Instead, she just told me, “If you’re not gonna try, you won’t be able to do it.” But I can’t do inversions without someone assisting me, or I might injure myself. The yoga classes with Kartana, Mano, Quino, and Yogi are amazing. These teachers not only adjust students but also have a genuine passion for transferring their knowledge.

Here’s the rewritten version:

So, here’s the thing about Canggu: you gotta do some research before going there (I learned this the hard way). It’s not exactly what I expected. It’s been taken over by Westerners and springbreakers. Apparently, most of the businesses are now owned by foreigners, according to the Balinese people I met. But hey, if you’re into partying and seeing lots of surfers, then Canggu is the place to be.

Now, let me tell you about the room I booked. It was pretty small – just one single bed, no desk, and a dresser (not too bad, I guess). There were two windows – one facing the bathroom/shower area, and the other facing the alley where the smokers hung out (even though it’s supposed to be a smoking-free place). It was kind of inconvenient because I could hear people coming in and out of the bathroom/shower, and sometimes the smell of cigarettes would waft into my room.

And don’t even get me started on the wifi. It didn’t reach my room at all, which meant no video calls and forget about streaming anything online. It was like living in the Stone Age. Other rooms seemed to have no wifi problems though, which made it even more frustrating.

Let’s just say, it wasn’t exactly the ideal setup for a peaceful 30-day yoga retreat.

After a couple of nights, I went to the staff and asked if I could switch rooms (I saw someone leaving across the hall), or pay more for an upgrade. But sadly, they told me they were completely booked and their system couldn’t do room swaps.

So, I ended up canceling my stay after the first week and leaving Canggu. But here’s the thing, the yoga classes were absolutely fantastic. The teachers were incredibly talented, knowledgeable, and great at communicating. I highly recommend them!

And the staff at the center? They were all wonderful and brought such a positive energy to the place. So, big shout out to them!

Oh, and the pool area was beautiful. There weren’t many spots to sunbathe, but the pool itself was usually not crowded. Most people just hung around, soaking up the sun.

And let me tell you about the spa center next to the pool. I treated myself to a Balinese massage and it was amazing. The prices were pretty good too, especially considering the expertise and the location.

Overall, I would definitely do yoga again at this facility. Unfortunately, my accommodation experience wasn’t the greatest.

The vegan breakfast buffet could definitely be improved. Maybe they should consider offering a small a la carte menu to in-house guests instead. I really enjoyed the overall atmosphere of the place. It was so calm and quiet.

We have a mixed dorm available, but it’s better if we assign roommates of the same gender. We offer yoga classes, great food, a convenient location, and our friendly staff is always here to assist you.

The dogs they have can get a bit noisy at night, but I could easily go back to sleep with earplugs so it wasn’t a big problem! Serenity has this magical power to help you relax and escape the hustle and bustle of Canggu. It creates such a peaceful atmosphere surrounded by lush greenery. The teachers are awesome and each one brings something unique to the table. There’s a good variety of classes for you to choose from every day. My room was simple but it was cleaned every day and I felt really comfortable. The showers and toilets were also kept clean regularly and the staff were all super positive and helpful. The breakfast in the morning was so good with fresh fruit and homemade breads, and there was always a different hot dish each day like Balinese porridge, scrambled tofu, or banana pancakes. Everything was absolutely delicious! The food for lunch and dinner from the kitchen was also amazing. It was always so fresh and healthy. I stumbled upon this place and I’ll definitely come back again on my next trip to Bali.

Everything was perfect. –> Everything turned out perfect.

The staff was super kind and helpful, the yoga courses were great, and I had an awesome first surf lesson! The vegan breakfast was delicious too. You can walk to everything in Canggu, and it’s only a 5-minute walk to the beach. I had such an amazing time!

My room was a bit outdated and dark, but I still had a great time here. The yoga classes are absolutely fantastic – challenging but amazing! The breakfast buffet was delicious too, with high-quality food. It’s super convenient that you can always grab some water.

It was my first time in Bali and overall, I was mostly disappointed by the town of Canggu. It’s very touristy and has a superficial “Instagram” vibe. Basically, everything is made for tourists, so if you’re looking for authenticity, I wouldn’t recommend this town. Pollution is also very present, which can make the sea dirty on rainy days.

As for Serenity, the dorm I stayed in was clean (cleaned every day) and decent, although there were insects and crabs, which was a bit unpleasant. Once we mentioned it to the staff, they did everything they could to fix the issue.

The big downside for me was health. From January to March 2020, many people got sick, including myself. We thought a bacteria (maybe in the water) was causing the fever, diarrhea, and vomiting we experienced. However, we don’t know for sure, but it was difficult for many other tourists staying at Serenity.

However, I don’t blame the staff at Serenity, who also must have been bothered by this problem. For my first solo trip, I decided to go to a center offering yoga classes so that I wouldn’t be alone in a new country and could deepen my practice. I am not disappointed with choosing Serenity! The place itself is gorgeous with a beautiful pool, the staff is always smiling and attentive, the teachers are excellent, and the vegan food is pretty good. The people I met there were all in a positive and open mood, which made it easy to make connections and have unforgettable moments. A big thank you for the three Balinese massages included with the one-month package.

I recommend Serenity, even just for the kindness of the teachers and staff. I would go back, despite Canggu not being a favorite town.

We couldn’t find a key to use in the dorm room. The bathrooms weren’t very clean. The beds were uncomfortably hard. Be prepared for centipedes crawling on you at night if you’re on the bottom bunk. The area here is so damp that you never feel clean or dry unless you leave the dorm. Unfortunately, the food made people sick, so I didn’t have breakfast there and ate somewhere else. Maybe it was just my bad luck with the dorm room, while others seemed to be fine. On the bright side, the yoga classes were a lot of fun, and the teachers were extremely enjoyable and helpful, especially for beginners. The pool is great. The location is good as it’s just a 10-minute walk to the main area, which makes it hidden and quiet. The staff are really nice and accommodating. When we had no hot water, they fixed it right away as soon as I mentioned it. It’s a fantastic place to meet people, and the staff and security are available 24/7.

I couldn’t believe how good the yoga instructors were! Every class was outstanding.

I really enjoyed everything. The stuff was always nice and helpful. Among the yoga instructors, my favorite was Kartana. He was incredibly clear and helpful.

De sfeer in deze plek is fantastisch, de yogalessen en workshops zijn ontzettend fijn om te volgen. De locatie is perfect, met een mooi zwembad en het strand vlakbij. Het personeel is zo vriendelijk, echt top.

The pool, the kindness of the staff

Breakfasts at the resort were boring and lacked imagination. They served the same thing every day and the quality was low. They really need to improve their hygiene standards. Also, having stinky dogs in the restaurant is definitely not a good idea! On a positive note, the yoga teaching and facilities at the resort are excellent. The accommodation was fair for the price and the food was okay, but unfortunately, the quality of breakfasts went downhill over time. It’s alarming to see so many sick people at the resort, all claiming they got bacterial infections from eating the food here!

I’m having a hard time thinking of anything… My first yoga trip alone at Serenity Eco Guest-house and Yoga was even better than I expected!
I loved the laid-back vibe of the place, it was so eco-friendly and relaxing. I felt such a peaceful atmosphere there.
The staff at the guest house were so kind and helpful, and the yoga classes were absolutely amazing.
I really wish I could have stayed longer.. I’m definitely planning to come back for more classes.
Thank you to all the staff and yoga instructors for making my trip so enjoyable! 🙂

I stayed at Serenity 2 and the dorm was located close to some local houses. The roosters and dogs woke me up a couple of times. The staff at Serenity 2 were extremely kind and helpful. The breakfast they served was vegan and absolutely delicious. I also had the chance to try their vegan cakes at the restaurant, and they were all fantastic. What I really admired about the place was how everything seemed to align perfectly with their focus on food, yoga, spa, and permaculture. They even pay attention to the chemicals they use in the pool! One of the highlights of my stay was joining an ecstatic dance session led by Deva, which was absolutely awesome. The only thing they need to improve is their sound system. But my favorite experience was definitely the aerial yoga class. I highly recommend trying it at least once! Throughout my stay, I felt safe, comfortable, and very well taken care of. It was a lovely experience overall.

I stayed at serenety2. There were a lot of chickens and roosters around, but they didn’t bother me at all. However, the entrance is a big, loud, and wobbly metal gate that is constantly pushed open and closed by people coming and going.

The room is very noisy because the door is a sliding door that doesn’t completely close. The beds are very comfortable though! The AC is very quiet and the pool is very clean.

The breakfast is good but mostly sweet. They always have sliced fruit, bread with sweet spreads, and a warm dish (baked banana or porridge).

The room itself is small, with just a bed and a mosquito net, but that’s all you need. The bathroom was cleaned every day.

The breakfast isn’t varied enough. I stayed at Serenity Guesthouse 2 and each time I had to bring my stuff for the pool, yoga… there was no possibility to change because there was no room at Serenity Guesthouse. The yoga classes were great with very competent instructors. The dishes are also very good and the Vegan pastries are to die for.

I’m not sure what caused it, but every single person who stayed in the dorm, including myself and others in different rooms, experienced a terrible 24-hour sickness with vomiting and diarrhea. It could have been the breakfast we all ate, or maybe something related to sanitation or water quality. It’s also possible it was a flu that spreads easily in that place due to the constant flow of people. Either way, every person in the dorm and even some in other rooms fell ill during my 10-day stay.

On a positive note, the yoga sessions were fantastic, especially in the open-air studios. The pool was beautiful, and the wifi was decent. The location was superb, just a few minutes away from the beach. It was a relaxed atmosphere, and the customer service was extremely helpful and kind.

Breakfast could use more variety, like adding some herbal teas. But honestly, I can’t complain about anything else. This place felt like home, and as a solo female traveler, I made so many friends. The yoga options were fantastic and diverse. The food was always fresh and healthy. The staff always had a smile on their face and seemed happy to see you. Plus, they offer a wide range of accommodations that fit any budget or desire. The pool area is beautiful and serene. I would definitely come back!

It’s excellent, can’t complain about it at all…

The food blew me away! I walked away feeling so cleansed and refreshed! The workers at eco serenity were absolutely lovely and welcoming, and they made my stay incredibly enjoyable! The yoga teachers were absolutely beautiful. I left feeling so relaxed and inspired to live a life focused on balance and self-care! My overall impression was absolutely incredible! I can’t thank you enough for everything! I’m definitely coming back.

I had no dislikes! I absolutely loved the food and the yoga classes.

The room isn’t very comfortable and it’s quite basic. The shower was almost always cold and could use some cleaning to be honest. However, the food was amazing and the yoga teachers and staff were incredibly kind. I found the safe in the room to be very practical. Plus, the permaculture and pool area is just so relaxing!

You should definitely avoid staying at Serenity 1 & 2 and Kris Kros. They have roosters (fighting) that sing all night, accompanied by dogs. And on top of that, on weekends, there’s a parade of surfer scooters, guaranteeing sleepless nights… The nearby beach is average, with rough seas, black sand, and lots of surfers and kid surfers. However, the instructors are excellent. But don’t make the mistake of staying in the heart of the complex. The vegan food is good, and the breakfast is enjoyable.

Every single night, someone woke me from my sleep and I stayed there for seven nights. The room above me had an occupant who paced up and down around midnight every night, dropping things to the floor. One time it even happened at 2:30 am, jolting me awake each night. Despite the lovely setting, decor, and staff, the noise was a major disturbance to my sleep.

The quality of the Yoga classes is simply exceptional. The restaurant serves excellent food with fresh ingredients and fair prices. The rooms are simple and comfortable. After staying for 25 days, I can say that it’s a place where you quickly feel at home. The most impressive thing is the humility and kindness of the staff, people who have a heart of gold and work with sincerity. I often saw them gather, probably to always strive for improvement. And for that, I can only congratulate them 🙂

The room can be a bit noisy in the morning with the roosters and scooters, but you eventually get used to it thanks to the earplugs. The staff gives a very warm welcome. The quality-price ratio is good. The food is of high quality. The yoga and spa are fabulous.

The building work starting every morning at 7 am slightly put me off my room. I wish they had let us know this would happen when we checked in. But I did love the yoga classes – they were a good size and there was plenty of help. Aerial yoga was a first for me and I really enjoyed it. I would definitely do it again in England.

I highly recommend this place because it has a great location, amazing instructors, and friendly and helpful staff.

I had an amazing stay here. The rooms were so cozy and clean, and the staff was incredibly helpful. I loved every minute of my time here! All the classes and teachers were fantastic at lending a hand whenever needed. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone!

I spent two weeks at this amazing place for a yoga holiday. I bought two week-long class passes for 900K each. It was a super relaxing trip and really helped boost my yoga practice and fitness. They offer tons of different classes in various styles, with lots of teachers and rooms to choose from. They also have massages and treatments available, a pool, accommodation, and a yummy on-site vegan restaurant where guests get a free breakfast. It was absolutely stunning.

I imagine that some people might feel sensitive towards insects and nature. That wasn’t the case for me, but just a heads up – Serenity’s eco-friendly approach means there’s more wildlife around their place. During my first trip to Bali, I wanted to chill out, so Canggu and Serenity Eco Guesthouse were the perfect spots. Check-in was a breeze and I got the lowdown on all the amenities they had – and there were a lot. Personally, I loved the powerful Balinese massage. I also tried the Ashtanga and Aerial Yoga classes, which I recommend. The Alkaline restaurant had sugar- and gluten-free options, and I couldn’t get enough of the raw bars and smoothie bowls. The resort is close to Canggu’s main strip but in a quieter area, perfect for evening relaxation. Oh, and the surfing lesson was by far the best part of my stay!

Serenity 2 is an amazing place to stay, but if you have light sleep or don’t use earplugs, roosters will wake you up really early. Everything was excellent – the place, swimming pool area, massage, breakfasts, and the most important part, YOGA classes! I really enjoyed my unlimited 7 days! Thanks again, guys!

My room buzzed with noise – a chicken sang all day and scooters buzzed in the driveway. You can take a variety of classes every day with different teachers. Anyone can join in, and we provide mats, blocks, straps, towels – everything you need. Serenity makes it easy to attend daily classes. The staff at Serenity is helpful, understanding, and kind.

We found the breakfast options a little disappointing and they started to get repetitive after the second day. But overall, we had a lovely stay at Serenity Eco Guesthouse and Yoga! The classes were excellent, the room was exceptional, and the hotel facilities were fantastic. We loved our stay here and wished it could have been longer!

I found it surprising to hand over my passport upon arrival. I tried to pay cash for the first night when I got there at 1:30 am, but it seemed like giving up my passport was the only way to get a room. This is not something I’m used to when I travel.

I stayed in B7, and the dog managed to get into the common area before the stairs leading up to the toilet. When I came down on my second night, he growled and barked aggressively, but thankfully, he ran away. I have to admit, I was a bit scared. The yoga classes were more challenging than I expected, but the instructors made it enjoyable.

The food was creative and imaginative. Even though I’m not vegan, I enjoyed trying out the menu. The pool and massage facilities were very nice and actually exceeded my expectations. The pre-arranged ride from the airport was definitely worth it! My driver spoke good English and patiently waited for a full 90 minutes while I went through customs and immigration.

Ummm the dogs, well, everyone has their own preferences, haha! I really appreciate the organized structure of the class and the location. This was such a special and unforgettable experience. Thanks!

I highly recommend it!

Our room. Not a restful night. Just next to a dog breeder according to the receptionist…constant barking and roosters, impossible to sleep well even with earplugs. And these noises continue during the day. Hearing dogs bark all the time is not pleasant. We had a fridge but no kettle, so no hot water available as advertised, having to walk 1.5 km for a cup of tea is not what I call convenient. The shower didn’t work properly, alternating between hot and cold water. Not worth it for the budget…not serene, even though that was its name. The Serenity center was nice, with a pool, restaurant, and garden, but if you don’t stay there, you can’t enjoy the services offered like hot and cold water, relaxation room, pool, breakfast, everything is there fortunately, we had a scooter because it was not close by. The yoga classes and equipment are perfect, with classes available at any time of the day.

Ligging is geweldig, de lessen zijn van super goede kwaliteit en de tuin is echt top!

The staff at Serenity Guest House really made this experience smooth by welcoming me with a smile and supporting me when needed throughout the day. Despite being open yet enclosed, this place still allows for indulging in nature.

I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone at Serenity Guest House .

– I didn’t love the spa quality at this place during my trip.
– I suspected bed bugs, but I asked for extra cleaning and they took care of it right away.
– The place itself is awesome, with all the plants and the pool.
– They have great yoga rooms and teachers.
– The service here is top-notch.
– Don’t miss out on the delicious local breakfast.

Whenever we had any issues like no hot water or a broken pipe, the staff would help us as quickly as they could. There are no negative aspects to the Open Eco style facility, and the restaurant serves polite and friendly staff.

The staff at the restaurant were so friendly and helpful, the food was delicious, and the location was just amazing!

I absolutely hated the bedbugs! Those nasty bloodsuckers ate me alive every night. I had to sleep in toga pants, a long sleeve top, and socks just to protect myself. But, despite the bugs, I didn’t want to leave because everything else about the place was so enjoyable. I loved the retreat layout, the amazing team working there, the spa girls, and the yoga classes. It was such a lovely experience!

Everything was perfect. The room was great, small but just right. The yoga schedule is very diverse. The guest house staff is lovely (special mention to Evi and Ningrum). The restaurant is delicious, and the pool is very enjoyable. In short, it’s a little piece of paradise just a 2-minute walk from the beach. And all for a unbeatable price.

The rooms don’t all have keys, there were lots of bedbug problems and the reception with 24-hour surveillance is very insecure. One guy working there went through my friend’s bag and stole money and things. We had a hard time getting the things back, especially the money he kept. I enjoyed the yoga and the beautiful area, but I wouldn’t stay there again because it is not secure at all. Nice location and mostly good people around, seems peaceful at first… 🙁

Some rooms may seem unlikely, but this place is amazing! They offer yoga classes, serve tasty organic food, have a swimming pool, are just 200m from the beach, and even offer massages. The staff really makes you feel at home. I’ll definitely be coming back one day!

I paid for a surf lesson that was included in my booking, but the receptionist informed me a day later that it was a mistake. They messed up the organization. Also, they canceled my surf lesson because I booked through booksurfcamps.com. I enjoyed the pool, free massage, and vegan options.

People are not continuing to clean the beach, which is bad because it needs to be looked after. You can take on the task yourself, but there’s a lot to do, so having an organized group is much better. The teachers are great, they help correct your poses, and the classes are very dynamic, focusing deeply on the asanas. All levels are welcome, which is good for us. The staff is very friendly and kind. The food at the restaurant is nice, with a huge and delicious breakfast. The room is cleaned every day by housekeeping.

As a total beginner in yoga, I wish someone had helped me set my goals and guided me on which classes to take and how much yoga to do. I ended up doing 3-4 classes a day and injured my knee from overdoing it. After doing some research, I realized I was doing too much for a beginner. The food was amazing and the staff was great.

Mosquitoes buzzed everywhere, especially during evening practice at Serenity. The place truly lives up to its name. I adore the friendly staff who are always so helpful and full of smiles. The best surprise was how close the place is to the beach! The food is fantastic and the classes are definitely worth it.

El ambiente es increíble, la gente es súper amable y te deja con ganas de volver. Sin duda regresaría.

The mosquitoes there really bug me, sometimes the tiny net I had was useless. Food costs an arm and a leg, but the retreat itself is a steal. The cozy corner could get pretty crowded at times. I wish they had normal chairs instead of just the Japanese style ones. Everything was top-notch. I absolutely loved the yoga sessions there!

I loved everything about my stay at Serenity, but I had a bad experience with bug bites. One morning, I woke up with my whole back, shoulders, and feet covered in bites. There were so many that I had an allergic reaction. I believe they were bedbugs, not mosquitoes. The staff suggested that the bugs might have come from the bamboo outside our rooms… who knows? I never actually saw any bugs, but woke up with 100 bites. I was approached by people at yoga class who saw my bites, and some of them had the same issue. One girl mentioned that bedbugs were a known problem at Serenity, which is why she doesn’t stay there but comes to yoga class instead because it’s great. The staff was helpful and put coconut oil on my bites, but it didn’t really help as I had even more bites the next day. I ended up canceling my last week at Serenity and went to Ubud instead. It was difficult to focus on yoga and meditation with the itching from the bites. Seems like the bug problem was only in the single rooms, as the dorms seemed okay. Serenity is a fantastic place for solo travelers looking for peace and calm while meeting like-minded people and practicing yoga in a lovely environment. The location is great, close to the beach, and the yoga classes are excellent. The staff is nice and the prices are reasonable. I especially enjoyed Kartana and Pusbas’ classes, but there’s something for everyone at Serenity. The spa was also very good.

Bedbugs are a big problem there, and they don’t take it seriously when you tell them about it. It really ruined my experience there. The yoga, atmosphere, and food were perfect though.

It’s an amazing place to relax and enjoy yoga. All the people who work there are very friendly and welcoming! I will definitely come back!

I loved everything about my stay at Serenity Ecolodge! The yoga instructors did an amazing job helping a newbie like me. The staff at Serenity and Alkeline were super friendly and helpful – they went above and beyond to make sure I had a great experience. The food was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere and surroundings were just perfect. I can’t find any faults with my time at Serenity. Huge thanks to the whole team there!

There are bed bugs in the dorm. I’ve moved to three different dorms and still can’t get rid of them. The staff is super helpful and nice. They do everything they can to help you.

Spaces, cleaning, and yoga are important.

There’s nothing disappointing about Serenity. Serenity is just perfect. The staff is super friendly and helpful. You can enjoy healthy food whenever you want. The beach is only 5 minutes away. The yoga classes are great and you can take them any time of day. Plus, they offer other treatments that are affordable too.

The amazing food, great location, friendly staff, variety of yoga classes and teachers, and convenient transport make this place perfect for a yoga retreat.

I left after the first night because bed bugs were eating me in my sleep. The manager gave me a refund the next day. Oh, and the spring rolls were really good.

I don’t think this is a yoga retreat. There’s no set program, coaching, or guidance. You basically just get a place to stay and a yoga pass, and it’s up to you to figure out what classes to take and how to do it. This can be really frustrating for beginners.

Plus, the place is a lot busier than I expected from the descriptions and website. This is mainly because of the pretty good restaurant and people walking in for classes. When you add in the lack of structure, it doesn’t feel like a retreat at all to me. It’s a nice budget place to stay and do some yoga. The lessons are generally good (though the quality varies between teachers), the accommodations are nice, the pool is good, and the location near the beach is great.

I would like to see more plug sockets in the rooms and aircon units. The yoga here is excellent and the whole package is extremely good value. The massages were an added bonus and equally fabulous. When I arrived after a 20-hour journey, I wasn’t sure if I would stay because, as a westerner, the room seemed a bit too basic. However, within a couple of days, this place felt like home with such a friendly vibe. If I had any criticism, it would be that the rooms need more plug sockets and aircon as the ceiling fans did very little. The shared bathroom facilities are plentiful, and I never once had an occasion in 31 days where there were not enough toilets or showers available. Lots of people got Bali belly so I’d recommend taking a stock of Imodium, as this was not due to anything in the hostel but mostly food eaten off-site. I’d recommend the 30-day program as it gives you time to chill, rethink, and relax with the yoga.

I lost one flip flop on the premises and never found it, so I had to buy a new pair. The yoga classes, clean food, massages, and overall atmosphere were all amazing.

The accommodation was in a separate house, about 700m away. The connection of the house with yoga, restaurant, and massage – excellent.

The flies buzzing around the garden while you eat can be really annoying and sometimes gross. The atmosphere is beautiful, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the yoga teachers are all super professional, talented, and fun to practice with. I really enjoyed my time here.

The only thing I found a bit difficult was that the fan in my room B7 was weak, so it often got hot in there without aircon! Maybe someone could check out the fan!

Everything was absolutely amazing, especially how the staff was always super friendly and helpful.

The location is perfect, with easy access to the beach, rice fields, restaurants, and coffee shops within walking distance.

After visiting Ubud, Kuta, and Seminyak, it was always heartwarming to come back to Serenity, which felt like home because the staff felt like family.

I had the pleasure of meeting other travelers like Mel, Michael, Margaret, and Teri, all wonderful people who made my stay special.

All the yoga teachers – Sida, Kartana, Mia, Yogi, Citra, and Daivum – were fantastic, each with their own unique style. I loved all the classes, just wish I had gone to more instead of being lazy by the pool!

The massages are a must-try, so healing!

The owners, a beautiful and joyful couple, were very hands-on and passionate. It was always uplifting to see the wife daily, dressed immaculately and offering fresh flowers to each deity. Very profound and with a humble heart.

Serenity feels like a fairy tale place with happy and positive messages all around, making you feel safe, happy, and at peace. I absolutely loved it!

My month here was amazing, and I would definitely come back again. Thank you to everyone at Serenity for filling my heart with joy. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

The philosophy of the yoga teachers varied a lot. I felt uncomfortable at times because there was always pressure to do more and be the best at stretching in class. It really ruined the yoga experience, especially for beginners like me.

There was also a virus going around, with someone different getting sick every day. We suspected it was from the restaurant food, as no one had any issues before coming to Bali.

The staff took good care of me – they brought me water and charcoal tablets in the middle of the night and even more the next day. They were incredibly kind and helpful, making it easy to feel at ease. They were truly amazing!

My room at KrisKros was spacious and well-equipped: fridge, mosquito net, fan, air conditioning, you name it.

The package with accommodation and yoga pass was unbelievably cheap!

There were so many classes to choose from – make sure to attend the meditation sessions, they were really good!

The alkaline restaurant serves delicious food. The sunset yin classes are a must-try. The overall atmosphere is welcoming and the vibe is good, with friendly teachers. Don’t forget to relax in the pool area and treat yourself to a Balinese massage.

The instructor encouraged and allowed people to take photos during the aerial class, which I found to be very distracting. I think they should have waited until after class.

My partner and I got very sick halfway through the retreat, so unfortunately, no more yoga for us. We can’t be sure where we got it from, but we only ate at one restaurant outside Sanctuary, and it was always very busy. Others at Sanctuary were also sick, possibly because people weren’t cleaning the mats properly and the cutlery and dishes weren’t disinfected.

The staff gave us a charcoal drink that really helped, but being in Sanctuary 2 made us feel quite isolated. I sent a message asking for breakfast to be brought to us when we were unwell, but it took 24 hours to get a response.

It’s a great value, just be careful not to get sick! Despite our illness, we still enjoyed the classes, pool area, and lovely breakfast. The room had everything we needed, and the free insect repellent was a nice touch. The staff were also very friendly.

I had to climb stairs to get to the toilet in the middle of the night. The food was a little hit and miss at times (over salted). but the staff were great – really kind and helpful. The yoga classes and teachers were excellent.

The staff was extremely helpful and friendly! The room, even though it was a dorm, was spacious and clean! The grounds were very well-maintained! The food…. hmm, delicious!

The bed bugs were going around but they don’t use chemicals, the mosquitos and flies seem immune to their natural repellent and even store bought mosquito repellent. The owner is a little rigid too. I actually had to get a refund because I couldn’t stand to be there anymore. I liked the location and the yoga instructors.

They did a terrible job trying to stop spread bed bugs. Yoga was amazing.

I didn’t like Canggu itself. The yoga spot was like an island amidst the craziness of Canggu. It was crowded, especially with surfers who paraded around all day with their surfboards, which was a weird contrast to the tranquility of Serenity. I didn’t feel comfortable in Canggu. The guests at Serenity were really nice. Everyone was there for the same reason so that created a connection. The yoga classes were very nice and you were pretty close to all the shops and restaurants in Canggu.

I had to move to Kris Kris, the 3rd building for one night. I didn’t like it much because the room smelled like a toilet. Serenity Yoga and Guesthouse is a warm, welcoming place where they serve you with a smile and make you feel at home right away. Unfortunately, I couldn’t stay in the main building because it was fully booked. I stayed at Serenity 2 and rented a bike to go back and forth. The yoga classes were challenging at first since I hadn’t practiced in two years, but all the teachers explained things well, offered different positions, and pushed you to do better. In a short amount of time, I gained strength, lost weight thanks to the amazing alkaline restaurant, and found peace in my mind and soul. I left this humble place reluctantly and wished I had booked for 4 weeks instead!

We include breakfast, have a lovely atmosphere, and our staff is friendly.

I loved every minute of it. I enjoyed the place, the location, the staff, the instructors, the food – everything! I can’t wait to go back.

Unfortunately, trash polluted the beaches in Bali. As a result, the staff at the resort was incredibly friendly and worked hard to ensure a perfect stay. The yoga instructors were phenomenal, and I learned a lot from them. I also met some great people who shared a similar vibe at the resort. The value for things like food, massage, and motorbike rentals was amazing. Lastly, I was able to find the right balance for my trip with some nearby nightlife options within a few blocks.

I had a fantastic time! The staff were incredibly friendly and the atmosphere was laid back and relaxed. Plus, it was incredible value for money.

The quality of the initial interactions with some staff members is high. The gluten-free vegan food is very healthy.

Construction work was taking place in the main building, so I had to change rooms. Luckily, the switch went smoothly and I even got a free massage out of it. It’s great that maintenance work is being done, but it should be communicated before booking so guests can choose their rooms accordingly. The food is amazing and healthy, and the prices are fair. The accommodations exceeded my expectations for the low price: spacious, clean, and something for everyone’s taste! The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. I think the staff really make the place so charming in the long run!

The yoga offerings are diverse, with various styles available and a different schedule every day to cater to everyone. Overall, I am very happy and satisfied with my choice of yoga retreat. Canggu is also a very trendy little surf town where you can do much more than just yoga! Top choice!

It’s hard to relax by the pool with the flies buzzing around. I wonder if there’s a way we can get them to go somewhere else. The yoga classes offer a great variety, with a perfect balance between regular and restorative sessions in the evening. The restaurant serves delicious food with excellent service, and it’s all at an outstanding value.

Serenity is the perfect yoga retreat! It’s small and cozy, and the teachers really focus on the participants in the classes. The courses are very challenging, and all the teachers come from Bali. The pool is fantastic, and you can even get massages right on the premises! The staff is super friendly.

The atmosphere and the staff were very nice and helpful.

The instructors in the yoga and meditation classes offered a variety of options to cater to everyone’s needs, guiding each participant through the poses.

I think we should add more beginner yoga options, like a beginner aerial class. We should also offer classes that focus on handstands. Serenity is a clean, safe, and friendly place that is dedicated to living harmoniously with nature. The massages are excellent, and I really enjoyed the beginner yoga classes.

This place is lovely and simple with really good vibes and a super nice staff. I left early to go to Ubud with a friend and they refunded me without even asking. They really go the extra mile to make sure you’re happy and you feel embraced and well taken care of. The vegan food is amazing, the yoga teachers are top-notch, and everything is clean and high-quality. I would definitely recommend it!

Talking to some of the reception staff was tough. They didn’t include breakfast like they said they would. The yoga classes rocked with a variety of options every day on a packed schedule. Plus, having the alkaline restaurant right there was super convenient.

Le restaurant Alcaline est assez cher.
La chambre à Serenity 2 est très bruyante (coqs et chiens toute la nuit).
Les cours de yoga sont enseignés par des professeurs très pédagogues et gentils, dans une ambiance calme et sereine.
Le personnel est très gentil et accueillant.

I loved it so much that we want to come back another time. However, there was one thing: The rooster in Serenity 3 woke us up every night, making it hard to sleep.

I saw a rat in my room last night. The classes here are all amazing and they offer a variety of different kinds of yoga and meditation. I find the eco-friendly concept of this place really interesting. The food is so good and the staff is friendly, although some of them seem a little confused.

The reception staff didn’t speak English well, making communication difficult. However, they were friendly. Unfortunately, they had trouble finding me in their system despite me paying for my yoga classes four times. It seemed like they were trying to make extra money. Even though I had paid for 5 classes, they always claimed they couldn’t find me in their system and I had to show my receipt and argue with them before I could book my class. The first time, they tried to charge me 110k instead of the 90k I had paid online. They insisted it was “high season” and I had to pay more. This was frustrating and every time I went to a class, they said I hadn’t paid. It was really annoying and ruined my experience. Despite this, I enjoyed the peaceful and calm atmosphere around the accommodation. The location was great and the vibe around the place was lovely.

I experienced a language barrier when I was addressing concerns about losing my room key and needing a ride to the shuttle for the gilli islands the next morning. The manager had left a message for a driver to pick me up at a different location and said I would be refunded my key deposit minus the cost of a new key. I managed to find my lost key in the lining of my backpack. The next day, the driver from eco didn’t show up, so I had to walk to the main building to avoid missing my prepaid boat ride. The shuttle driver wasn’t happy because we had to go back for my luggage. Despite finding my key, I was still charged for a replacement since that was the manager’s instruction. I couldn’t discuss the found key with staff, as they couldn’t reach management for clarification. It was frustrating not being able to resolve the issue. The rooster near my window kept me up all night, making it impossible to sleep. The beach location was nice, and most of the staff tried to help, but better protocols are needed to handle situations like mine.

– Stray and sometimes aggressive dogs roamed around
– The food at the restaurant was too expensive for the quality
– Some of the employees don’t speak English very well, but colleagues were able to help out
– The staff was very friendly and attentive (although there was sometimes a bit of a commotion behind the counter, with 5-8 employees, of whom 2-3 seemed to be busy)
– There were a variety of yoga styles to choose from
– The cleanliness was excellent
– There were plenty of seating options

As soon as I arrived for my two-week stay, I realized it was a mistake. This place was so busy and there was constant banging from construction works, totally different from the peaceful vibe I was expecting. I ended up canceling my reservation and leaving because it wasn’t what I had in mind. I must say, the staff were great though.

I want a storage locker to leave my bag after checkout, even if I have to pay for it. The privacy isn’t great because you can hear other guests in their rooms. The food at the restaurant is good. The energy of the place is lively.

The shower has a variety of classes and food and drinks.

We have a fantastic yoga instructor, beautiful facilities, and delicious creative vegan food.

My room was nice, but the maid didn’t do a great job cleaning the bathroom, especially the toilet. The yoga classes were fantastic.

We originally booked the Moon room, but we had to ask for different accommodation because it had a damp problem and stank. All the rooms are pretty basic, which is fine by us, but my sister has asthma so we couldn’t stay in that room. After a quick chat, they sorted us out with a new room and the rest of our stay was fantastic. The classes were fantastic with a wide selection, and the instructors were top-notch – really inspiring and excellent.

They are expanding and have construction work going on from 8am. It disrupts the beautiful tranquillity of the place, but I hope the charm won’t be lost through the expansion. It feels very inclusive, with all the staff being very friendly, and you don’t have to be an expert at yoga.

There are lots of little fountains scattered around, creating a constant background of trickling water sounds.

The food at the Alkaline cafe is healthy and delicious. I wish they would sell a recipe book to take home and continue the goodness.
